ISLAMABAD — State-run Pakistani television said the bodies of the ambassadors to Pakistan from the Philippines and Norway and the wives of the ambassadors from Malaysia and Indonesia have arrived at a military base near the capital, Islamabad.
Pakistan Television said the bodies, and those of three Pakistani crew members, were flown to the military base near Islamabad on Saturday.
The dead were killed Friday when Pakistani army helicopter carrying them made a crash landing in the country's north.
The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs announced it was "deeply saddened" by the death of Ambassador Domingo Lucenario Jr., and that his colleagues in Manila observed a two-minute period of silence in commemoration.
Lucenario, 54, also served as non-resident ambassador to Afghanistan, Kyrgystan and Tajikistan. He is survived by his wife and three children.
Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende confirmed the death of Ambassador Leif H. Larsen, describing him in a statement as, "a well-liked and highly respected colleague. His friends and colleagues in the Foreign Ministry and across our foreign stations are today in sorrow."
Larsen, 61, is survived by a wife and a son.
Romania's ambassador to Pakistan, Emilian Ion, was on the same helicopter and survived, the Romanian Foreign Ministry said.
Pope Thrower, assistant spokesman for the US Embassy in Islamabad, said, "No American Embassy personnel participated in this trip."
Hours after the crash, Indonesia's Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi confirmed in Jakarta that Heri Listyawati, the wife of Indonesia's ambassador, was killed while her husband, Burhan Muhammad, survived with injuries.
Pakistan said a technical failure caused the crash. The Pakistani Talban issued a statement claiming they had shot down the helicopter with an anti-aircraft missile, something the government later dismissed as an opportunistic attempt to take responsibility for such a high-profile incident.
Pakistan has declared Saturday a day of national mourning. (AP)
